Membrane Chromatography Emerges as a Game-Changer in the Biopharmaceutical Industry, says Market.us

Membrane chromatography is a modern separation technique that involves the use of semipermeable membranes as the stationary phase. In recent years, this technology has emerged as an alternative to conventional chromatography methods, due to its high efficiency, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. 

The global membrane chromatography market is expected to grow significantly over the next decade, driven by various factors, including increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals, growing need for purification and separation of biomolecules, and advancements in membrane technology. 

According to research by Market,” The Membrane Chromatography Market size was valued at USD 225.43 Million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1132.74 Million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 17.52 % from 2023 to 2033.”

The growing demand for high-quality biopharmaceuticals and increasing applications of membrane chromatography in downstream processing are the major factors driving the growth of the market. 

Anurag Sharma, a senior research analyst at Market.us, said,” The membrane chromatography market is expected to grow significantly over the next decade, driven by various factors, including increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals, growing need for purification and separation of biomolecules, and advancements in membrane technology.”

Membrane chromatography can be used in disposable devices while still producing the desired purity, it has become increasingly important. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing demand from the biopharmaceutical sector for membrane chromatography. The market’s growth will be impeded by the inadequacy of membrane chromatography in large scale manufacturing. The market is also being held back by high costs and a shortage of skilled professionals  

Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market for membrane chromatography, driven by the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals and the presence of major players in the region. North America and Europe are also expected to show significant growth over the next decade, due to the presence of well-established biopharmaceutical industries and the presence of leading companies in the region.

The global membrane chromatography market is highly competitive, with a large number of companies operating in the market. Some of the key players in the market include Merck Millipore, Sartorius AG, GE Healthcare, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Pall Corporation, among others. These companies are focusing on expanding their product portfolios and establishing a strong presence in the market through partnerships and collaborations.
